In the heart of a war-torn Ukraine, where mobility is a critical necessity, the Bikes4Ukraine initiative was born. A group of passionate individuals came together to address the challenges of destroyed roads, isolated communities, and the urgent need for basic transportation by repairing and delivering donated bicycles from around the world. In this new UMX video, discover how associations are not only restoring bikes, but also rebuilding a sense of community and sustainability in affected cities. This is more than just a story about bikes — it’s about bringing back dignity, mobility, and hope in a time of great challenge.
